Enrollment Criteria: Senior; Junior; Sophomore; Pre-Med Post Bacc; Prereq for 360 Program: 1 previous science course or permission from instructor. This course is part of 360 Science, Democracy, and Truth: We currently live in a “post truth” era where it is often difficult to discern fact from “fake news”. How can we use science to respond to the criticisms of those in power that might disagree with our fundamental assumptions about the reliability of scientific facts? Anticipating and addressing these challenges requires an understanding of the fundamental connections between the three disciplines of this 360: Biology, Philosophy, and Political Science. If your interested in the 360 program, you must fill out the application which is due on November 8th at NOON by clicking on link. https://www.brynmawr.edu/360/spring-2018-application-science-power-and-truth.
